VCP-CMA 2024 Question 225
Single answerYour organization uses VMware Aria Automation to manage infrastructure deployments. A new requirement states that specific deployments must be paused after provisioning for manual configuration before they are set to active. What is the best approach to achieve this in VMware Aria Automation?
- A
Use a custom subscription that triggers a pause at the 'Deployment Completed' event.
- B
Add a custom action to the deployment blueprint to pause the deployment.
- C
Configure a 'Day-2 Action Policy' to enforce a pause state on deployments.
- D
Include a custom integration in the blueprint workflow to pause the deployment after provisioning.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The best approach to pause deployments automatically after provisioning is by using a custom subscription tied to the 'Deployment Completed' event. Subscriptions allow administrators to integrate workflows or actions at specific points in the deployment lifecycle, enabling precise control over deployment behavior. Other options either misinterpret the functionality of VMware Aria Automation or introduce unnecessary complexity.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Subscriptions in VMware Aria Automation allow you to trigger specific actions or workflows at various lifecycle events, such as pausing a deployment after provisioning.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Custom actions in a blueprint are not used for pausing deployments; they are intended for additional functionalities post-deployment.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Day-2 Action Policies are used to define what actions can be performed on deployments after they are created, but they cannot enforce a pause state.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Custom integrations can extend functionality but are not the native method to pause deployments after provisioning. This approach adds unnecessary complexity.
